Many young men today are overwhelmed by constant stimulation and have no real understanding of how their energy is affected by technology, substances, or their own habits. As a result, they often feel anxious, unmotivated, or burned out—and don’t know how to take control of their well-being.
This workshop gives young men practical tools to better manage their energy so they can feel more focused, relaxed and responsible.

Presenter
Dr. Mark Schillinger
Dr. Mark mentoring at the YMUW
Dr. Mark has been called "a teen whisperer" because of his ability to help teens develop their inner wisdom and discover the skills they’ll need in order to handle the challenges of the adult world. He’s a family mentor, social philosopher, public speaker, and an award-winning chiropractor who specializes in mind-body wellness.
He’s the founder of the Young Men’s Ultimate Weekend, a rite of passage adventure camp, and of Challenging Teenage Sons, which teaches parents and their sons how to create lifelong caring and cooperative relationships.
Dr. Mark’s proven method has taught parents around the world how to foster the healthy development of their son’s emotional intelligence, whether he’s an extrovert or introvert, over-empowered or under-driven, overconfident or unwilling, entitled or indifferent, or suffers from anxiety or attention disorders.
His work with young men and parents was featured on the CNN show "This is Life With Lisa Ling" in 2020. He’s been mentoring families since 2000.
Whenever Mark and his adult son, Gabe, can find time, they play sports together and collaborate to make African-reggae-hip-hop beats. Gabe attended the first Young Men’s Ultimate Weekend in 2000 and has also served as a YMUW volunteer.

Mark’s work as a family mentor helps parents use their different parenting styles to create a united approach. Using his parenting method, he gives parents the structure, support, and skills to help their son be happy and productive
Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus
The rite of passage events led by Mark are one of the most powerful solutions to the challenges I outlined in The Boy Crisis. Not only does Mark help young men develop the responsibility and resilience needed for adulthood, he also mentors’ parents to overcome the problems of raising teens in this digital era by skillfully using their authority and influence to support their sons’ growth.
Mark is an insightful and compassionate mentor who helps fathers harness their masculine wisdom to strengthen relationships at home. He has a unique gift for guiding fathers to balance tough love with tender love, becoming role models for their sons on what it means to be a good man
As a therapist, I'm very impressed with Dr. Mark’s method, and I've adopted it into my work with families and young men. This method has profoundly influenced my work.
Before we met Mark, the three of us were fighting all of the time. Our home life was awful. His ability to work with our son was nothing short of a miracle. He skillfully administered wisdom and direction to us all. Now we spend our time together in laughter, discussion and creative pursuits.
Mark’s methods are like having a training manual on how to raise a teenage son with 24/7support. With the aid of direct training with Mark, we’ve experienced a complete turn-around.
Mark offered my husband and I a unique set of practical tools to use daily, which improved our communication with each other and with our son. In addition, he built the foundation of these tools on a spiritual base that made genuine love and caring the glue to keep us moving forward with hope and resilience.
You’ve given us so much. You are a uniquely talented artist with uncommonly powerful instincts about transformation. You’ve given our family great tools and a renewed sense of hope, love and possibility.
Thank you.
As a therapist working with families over 20 years, I received many gems from working with Mark. And as a parent, I felt held and guided about what's most important in relationship with my sons. Thanks Mark!
Dr. Mark has been a godsend helping my son and my family. Through Dr. Mark’s help, my son has totally turned himself around. My wife and I have become better parents, we learned how to keep him on track and my son is more productive.
